Now that the results of the CBSE exams for Class XII are out, and some have performed better than others, it is time to introspect in retrospect.There are many reason, I believe for which some students have scored higher than others. I will list some of them here:-1. The results you got is directly proportional to the hard work you put in.2. The percentage obtained is similar to the circle of students you befriended.3. The result is dependent on the quality of education ( in schools) and tuitions you received.4. The reputation of the school in which you studied directly contributed to the percentage obtained ( a reputed school helps you add at least 5 percentage to your aggregate marks).5.

So, if such an event has not materialised, then, what we reap instead is stability of governance, continuity in policies and growth ( blame the present economic boom for it).If we are overtly critical ( I think the time is to be blamed - 3 years gone, 2 years remaining) of any coalition government, which is running smoothly, we have not fully discounted the fact that there is every possibility of it falling before completing its tenure. And strangely, when a coalition government is lasting the full tenure, we start to treat and evaluate it as a single party government…

As I was traveling from Lutyen's Delhi towards National Capital Region of Ghaziabad, I could at once see Bharat and India. Two of them separated but lying next to each other. Lutyen's Delhi [India] due to its many trees and well laid out architecture felt cool and soothing. But, as I crossed ITO, I could see the real Bharat [ in urban terms], which is responsible for the entrepreneurship and economic prosperity saddled with poor infrastructure, lack of planning, pollution, no green cover and abundant chaos.Technorati : Delhi
